The Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles (FNSEA; transl. National Federation of Agricultural Holders' Unions) is a French umbrella organisation charged with the national representation of 20,000 local syndicat agricoles (agricultural unions)) and 22 regional federations.[1]

Establishment

The Vichy regime's Peasant Corporation was dissolved after the Liberation of France in September 1944, but the unity of agricultural organisations that it had established persisted.[2]

The new Socialist Minister of Agriculture, François Tanguy-Prigent, replaced it with a national union of working farmers rather than landowners, the Confédération générale de l'agriculture (GCA).

In March 1946, the Fédération nationale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles was created as a CGA branch, but it soon dominated the confederation.[3] Many of the former Peasant Corporation leaders became leaders of the FNSEA.[2]
